New York, New York

The last stop of our trip was New York City.

Despite being one of the main centers for the political and economic agendas that control the whole world’s society, New York is a beautiful city that is home to beautiful people from diverse cultural backgrounds and is full of art and culture.

We were completely taken by this great city. I had absolutely no expectations, and I tried not to think about the clichés and stereotypes I had seen and heard before.

The only thing was that three days were certainly not enough to really get to know and visit the city!


New York City is one of the global centers of international finance, politics, communications, film, music, fashion, and culture, and is among the world’s most important and influential cities. It is home to many world-class museums, art galleries, and theatres. Many of the world’s largest corporations have their headquarters here. The headquarters of the United Nations is in New York and most countries have a consulate here. This city’s influence on the globe – and all its inhabitants – is hard to overstate, as decisions made within its boundaries often have impacts and ramifications literally across the globe.

Immigrants (and their descendants) from over 180 countries live here, making it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Travelers are attracted to New York City for its culture, energy and cosmopolitanism.
